Aurora cichlid

The Aurora Cichlid is a striking Lake Malawi mbuna prized for its bold coloration and dynamic behavior. These aggressive, territorial fish thrive in alkaline environments with rocky structures and sandy substrates that mimic their natural habitat. They demand substantial space and careful tank mates due to their combative nature, making them ideal for experienced aquarists who can manage their complex social hierarchies. Proper water chemistry, robust filtration, and strategic rock placement are essential for their health and aggression management.
